Hi all, I would like to open a discussion on FLIP-240: Introduce "ANALYZE TABLE" Syntax.
As FLIP-231 mentioned, statistics are one of the most important inputs to the optimizer. Accurate and complete statistics allows the optimizer to be more powerful. "ANALYZE TABLE" syntax is a very common but effective approach to gather statistics, which is already introduced by many compute engines and databases. The main purpose of discussion is to introduce "ANALYZE TABLE" syntax for Flink sql. You can find more details in FLIP-240 document[1]. Looking forward to your feedback.
